Agree with Gannon’s comment, I have been doing this for over 9 months and it works, it all started when I came home from grocery shopping one day…I was at the fridge, and turned to my couch I could see in the living room next to me, and eyed the first cushion, and tossed my wallet, then keys and then AirPods to the exact spot one after the other, bullseye. So seeing as the arm followed and had the exact / similar feel and outcome when tossing discs, it all just started clicking when on the course, I’ve since improved my putting game substantially. Hope it helps all who try tossing there personal belongings from the next room to your couch… give it a try… :)
I’ve been adopting Gannon’s putt for about the past month and now that I think about it, it does feel like a bean bag toss! My putt is improving too so 👏👏
oh that ALWAYS helps! I completely quit practicing for a while because it was so discouraging. I can't explain how silly it felt to be as awful as I was at something that everyone else seemed to do easily. Then I heard him talk about this and suddenly I was hitting metal way more often. Now as I build more confidence in the muscle memory I need to slinging it in faster
For me this experience was the opposite. I've never played cornhole before - didn't even know it existed until last year. But I've been attending a putting league that, for the last couple years has been played in the back of a bar. And they have cornhole. We were playing a "cornhole rules" putting challenge every once in awhile, often as a second activity after the league, and one day my friend wanted to show me how to play real cornhole. I learned how to do the "dad putt" style of motion, and wasn't good at it. He told me to just putt normally, and all of a sudden I was really good at cornhole. So it's definitely transferable both ways if you putt is similar enough to cornhole in the first place. 🙂
@@hotbeefdiscgolf It was a bit like cheating. I'm a really good putter, so I instantly became a really good cornholer. That said, I am not really interested in that game, but it shows you how transferable that is, and it's bidirectional! 😁
I love that. I am honestly a terrible putter so having some muscle memory to reference made a huge difference. My misses are at least hitting metal too.
It's funny, my gf started playing cornhole and I was like "Oh, I think I would be good at that because it's like putting" and I tried it and was nailing it, haha.
I noticed the pro corn hole players throwing the bag with a little spin. I started to try to spin my bag and did a lot better. I realized it was because I was throwing the same way I put in disc golf. Yes it is transferable.
Ya was thinking the same thing. Gannon's putt has not once ever reminded me of a cornhole throw, at least in the air. I don't think I've ever seen a high floater dad putt style from him. If you follow the link to the video, the first putt he makes after describing his style, comes in high and fast, bounces off the top of the basket and goes 25+ long. He does putt a bit nose down but the high point of his throw happens very early. What I think is distinctive about his putt is where he holds his disc down low, vertically against his left leg which means he's literally getting an extra 9-10 inches of power at the bottom arc of his arm swing. I tried it for a while, and I can definitely get more power (and thus distance) that way, but I struggle to get the disc from vertical to horizontal and it's always nose down. That still works fine, until the wind blows.
Yeah his pace is sooo fast (lot of people arguing too fast) but he talks about it being a "lob" putt so I believe his intent is to have the disc descending as it enters chains/basket. I definitely haven't gotten the confidence to have his same pace yet, and maybe never will. The movement has still helped me a ton!

Love to hear it! thank you so much! 🖖

So glad to hear! Now I just gotta adda little confidence/pace!
I’m excited to try this! I have a feeling it will help a lot!
Hope it helps my dude!! 🤝
Ive been trying putting this way after watching gannon putt and it seems to be helping me
Definitely helped kick start my ability to understand the movement, now to just work out the finer details
Just found your channel and I will be damned if that wasn't the closest course to my house lmao
Haha nice! I like filming out there because theres enough room to really open the arm up. 🤝
@@hotbeefdiscgolf I agree. Its nice having the course, baseball diamonds and soccer fields for field work. Need to make it over there more often.
New tee pads and baskets would help a ton. Maybe a couple course tweaks as well
@@hotbeefdiscgolf Totally agree!
That’s some hot beef
🖖
He also says in that vid he made 200-300 putts a day pretty much every day of the offseason (120ish days).. That usually helps.

So cool to hear! It's still a part of my routine, to walk up and think "its cornhole" hah!
I see it
what? dudes putt flies into the basket at a million miles an hour though lol
